THE ARGUMENT, vii INTRODUCTORY, ix

THE ARGUMENT

I have clung To nothing, lov'd a nothing, nothing seen Or felt but a great dream! O I have been Presumptuous against love, against the sky, Against all elements, against the tie Of mortals each to each....

... Against his proper glory Has my soul conspired; so my story Will I to children utter, and repent.

There never lived a mortal man, who bent His appetite beyond his natural sphere But starv'd and died.... Here will I kneel, for thou redeemest hast My life from too thin breathing: gone and past Are cloudy phantasms! --KEATS.

INTRODUCTORY

CONCERNING BINDON-CHEVERAL.

THE STAR DREAMER

BOOK I

Thy soul was like a star and dwelt apart. WORDSWORTH .

THE STAR DREAMER

Alone and forgotten, absolutely free, His happy time he spends, the works of God to see In those wonderful herbs which here in plenty grow, Whose sundry strange effects he only seeks to know, And choicely sorts his simples got abroad, And dreams of the All-Heal that is still on the road.... --DRAYTON .
